She was the mother of John Pole, but was she also the mother of Geoffrey Pole? If not, who was Geoffrey's mother? His father was apparently Richard Pole, a cousin of William Pole who was the husband of Alix/Alice Chaucer. Could someone please help me with this?

There seems to be some serious confusion here. You can check out the Poles at https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISH%20NOBILITY%20MEDIEVAL2.htm..., but you won't find a collateral Richard and you won't find a Geoffrey.

Alice Chaucer married three times, but had children only with her third husband (William, not "Richard", de la Pole).

That particular Alice was a duplicate of Alice Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk stuck in the wrong place. I've detached her.

So there's that.

Alice Duchess of Suffolk didn't have a sister Anne, unless the latter died very young. Alice was Thomas Chaucer's *only surviving child*.

Indeed. She's the only child showing up in the herald's pedigree.

Will fix and lock.
